First, let me explain something about the way I cook. I don't measure anythinggg, because I only cook one serving..for myself. I live with my boyfriend now (he basically only eats grilled cheese), and I don't like/I tend to forget about leftovers. They just rote in my fridge if I fridge them.

Here's a list of ingredients I used in the marinade for the chicken:

We'll use the + and - system to determine what I used more of.

One whole fresh lemon (half squeezed, half sliced)

Ground White pepper

Black Pepper

Onion powder

Sea salt

Olive oil

Water

Roasted garlic

Pinch of organic sugar

Just throw that shit and the chicken together in a Tupperware to make this:

Smell it. If it doesn't smell good to you, fix it because it won't taste good either.

Let it chill in the fridge for an hour or so.

Boil some water with olive oil, sea salt, and roasted garlic. Add the noodles, I used Delallo organic whole grain spaghetti no. 4 from Whole Foods.

Before those noodles are fully cooked, spray a pan with pam and flop that chicken in there. Add a couple tablespoons of the marinate and cover with a lid.

Add some butter, sea salt, and garlic powder to the fully cooked noodles.

Flip the chicken and leave the lid off of the pan.

Poor the noodles into a bowl-plate and stick the chicken on top. Garnish with cilantro. ;)

Wait.I'm a professional business student. I should act as such.. *ahem*

People who hover around the internet,

Assimilate Everything is a branch off of Classy Cavern. This blog is designed to inform on many, may different topics. Why should you believe what I write? Well, as a student, I have access to a college library, textbooks, and well-educated professors; I am also extremely interested in many different subjects. Everything I write in posts will be researched using books (not the internet) and the references will be listed. Anything that does not have references listed is what I just happened to know over my years as a student that may not be so important to reference.

A long time ago I bought this plain, blank, black notebook from a book store for about $6. I intended on it being a gift to a friend, but I never gave it away. It was stashed away for a long time and I finally decided that I have a use for it.

Except it was way to boring..and I originally wanted to decorate it anyway. So, I added some random stuff (aka left over craft things).

I added some things on the inside too. I can't seem to find my little packet of images like the 4 I put to the left here. Otherwise, I would definitely have more there than that. I'd also have the back pages done since there is a pocket built into the back cover.

Alright, so I figure that you might as well waste some time online by learning.
(And me too.)
Plus, I currently need a break from all of my regression analysis for a macro forecasting project with an extremely old version of Excel. I should really buy the 2013 version (mine is 2008. yeah. I know.) but I really don't have enough money.
Anyways..

To make it interesting, I'm going to pick up this book that I borrowed from my French professor, read La Belle et la Bête, and put some french nouns I see in there into a beautiful chart below with translations. So you can learn some French even if you didn't want to. ☺

French (Français)

English (Anglais)

un merchand

a merchant

un garçon

a boy

un père

a father

une maison

a house

la campagne

the countryside

une chose

a thing

une table

a table

la neige

snow

un matin

a morning

► Most of those words ended up being singular masculine. Un/une is masculine/feminine singular for the indefinite article "a" and le/la is masculine/feminine singular for the definite article "the." Les is the plural definite article. Des is the plural indefinite article.

This requires new charts.

articles définis

Français

Anglais

le (m)

the

la (f)

the

les (pl)

the

articles indéfinis

Français

Anglais

un (m)

a

une (f)

a

des (pl)

a

► Examples:

une chose ➝ des choses
a thing ➝ things

la chose ➝ les choses
the thing ➝ the things

un matin ➝ des matinsa morning ➝ mornings

le matin ➝ les matins the morning ➝ the mornings

This would not work with la neige. Weather in French is different.. I'll be getting to that later. But for now, just know that you would say Il y a neige to mean there is snow.

Mmk, so this college kid just wasted $30 at Michael's craft store for crafting things! Like bookmarks and luggage tags and gift tags and favor bags!
Easy things. Things that were supposed to be not so expensive..but Michaels is expensive..so it didn't work out that way.
Anyways, I'm excited because I really enjoy crafting things! And I think I would eventually stop making things since I don't have a real reason to be spending money and time during school to be crafting luggage tags and bookmarks, as useful as they may be.
So, that's why I made an Etsy.
I just want to make myself clear; I have an Etsy so I can continue to make things (other people might enjoy the things I make) and so I can possibly get a little $$$ back to use toward making more things!

But I digress..
Here is what I was doing today with my $30 of new crafty supplies:

Here is my sort of cleaned up nonsense of actually making the stuff.

And there in the corner is my piece of shit phone!

These are 2 bookmarks that I have finished so far.

Yes the picture is sideways. I'm sorry I'm too lazy to fix it.

This would be the beginning of my wedding favor bags that I'm stamping with those 2 cute lovebirds in a cage. I thought it seemed appropriate for a wedding.

I got this really cool box that was on sale! It was called a memory box..yeah, that's not what I'm going to use it for. I'm keeping all of my supplies in it, obviously.

These are my finished/nearly finished miscellaneous luggage tags. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with them yet.

And, last but not least, this beautiful set of 5 luggage tags is my newly nearly finished set of tags.

They're intended for road trip travel as indicated by that little sticker dune-buggy obnoxiously asking "are we there yet?"

This set and the 2 bookmarks will be on my Etsy next if you or anyone you know is looking to majestically label their luggage and read during travel. ;)
